30092 – UCF researchers have created a self-cleaning mixture which uses photoactive agents with varying oxides to safely inhibit the growth of algae, fungi, mold, and bacteria. Unlike currently available solutions, where most surfacing agents are either toxic to both the environment and to humans, or require frequent replacement with additional costs, this solution is non-toxic and comes with a low,...

31560 – A method for controlling the generation of hydrogen gas from a metal borohydride solution with organic pigment catalysts
A comparably priced but more active catalyst in the process to solidify hydrogen that overcomes its significant barrier to automotive adoption is a move toward sustainability, environmental protection, and energy independence. Storing hydrogen safely and efficiently must... Read More

32358 – Purify natural gas by removing toxic and corrosive hydrogen sulfide, creating usable fuel with methods that also produce valuable hydrogen fuel as a by-product; or cut conventional energy requirements for contaminant removal.
Hydrogen sulfide (HS) is a common contaminant in natural gas wells, landfill gases, and other industrial operations. Approximately one-third of U.S. natural gas... Read More
